当有人打电话或者询问某人是否在场时,我们有时会需要委婉地表达对方不在的情况。
比如,有人问你A在不在办公室,恰好A不在,你会怎么回答?
“He is not here”?
"He is not here" 这个表达方式在日常英语中是非常常见的,用来表示某人不在特定的地方,比如办公室、家里或其他场所。
例如:
A: Is John in the office?
B: No, he is not here right now. He'll be back after lunch.
这句话的意思是:“约翰现在不在办公室,他午饭后会回来。”
那么,除了这个表达方式,还有没有其他短语短句能够表达相同的意思呢?
